Chapter 409 Dont fall into his trap at all
The next day, Shi Qingluo went to Hua Concubine's appointment alone without Xi Rong.
Shi Qingluo took Qingqing into the private room and saw that not only Concubine Hua was sitting inside, but King Jin was also there.
There was also a young man and an old Taoist priest.
Shi Qing was blessed with a blessed body, "I have met King Jin and the concubine Hua!"
King Jin smiled and said, "My lady, come and sit down."
Shi Qingluo walked over and sat opposite King Jin.
Then King Jin introduced the Taoist priest to Shi Qingluo, "This is Taoist Master Changqing."
"This is my son Liang Mingyu." He introduced the young man again.
Shi Qingluo smiled at the two of them, "Hello, Taoist Priest Changqing! Hello, Prince!"
The old Taoist priest looked at Shi Qingluo and said with a smile: "Pindao took the initiative to tell the prince today that he wanted to see Mrs. Shi."
He didn't beat around the bush, "Has your master ever taught you Taoism?"
Shi Qingluo shook his head apologetically, "Master never taught me Taoism. He only taught me literacy and some prescriptions that are not available outside."
She didn't understand Taoism or anything like that at all, so she didn't pretend to understand.
The old Taoist master was a little disappointed. He originally wanted to talk about Taoism with Shi Qingluo, the disciple of the old immortal, but who would have thought that she didn't learn it.
He asked again: "Then did your master leave any books related to Taoism?"
Shi Qingluo thought for a while, and there were indeed some books on Taoism in the wooden box left by the old Taoist.
She had read it before and didn't quite understand it.
Because it was something that the original person cherished very much, and she often let the old god take the blame, she didn't throw it away, but put it in the space.
"My master did leave such books behind, but I placed them in Heyang County."
Of course she couldn't take it out now, otherwise it wouldn't be justified at all.
"If Taoist Master wants to see it, why don't you wait until I return to Heyang County and have someone send it to you?"
She saw that the old Taoist priest had a kind face and kind eyes, which gave him the impression of a Taoist priest.
It seems that he really likes Taoism, so he might as well put those books to good use.
The old Taoist was overjoyed and said, "I am planning to travel recently. Why don't you tell Madam Shi when she leaves Beicheng that I will go to Heyang County with you?"
Shi Qingluo did not refuse, "Okay!"
Judging from King Jin's appearance, he has great respect for the Taoist priest, which shows that this Taoist priest must be capable.
It would be nice to have a good relationship with such a person.
The old Taoist smiled and said: "Thank you!"
He knew that there should be something to say between King Jin and Shi Qingluo, but he didn't want to get involved.
So I made an appointment with Shi Qingluo to set off together in a few days, and proposed to leave first.
Although King Jin was a little disappointed that Old Taoist Zhen would no longer help him, he had no choice but to accept it.
After the old man left, he looked at Shi Qingluo with a smile and said, "Ms. Shi came up with a money-making idea for my concubine yesterday. Do you want anything?"
Shi Qingluo knew that King Jin was a smart man, "After the prince gets the recipe for transforming the paper and the recipe and tries it successfully, can he build a cement road from Beicheng to Heyang County?"
To get rich, you must first build roads. Now the road to Heyang County is not only remote but also difficult to walk.
After canning and other workshops are opened, transportation will become a problem.
But now the money from the county government can only be used to build workshops, and there is no money at all to build roads.
She had seen some of the young husband's plans for Heyang County, and there was a shortage of money everywhere.
The cost of road construction is extremely high, so it would be best if it is not spent on the county government.
And in this case, the couple would have nothing to say.
They just thought about the people of Heyang County, so they donated Fangzi to King Jin in exchange for him to build a cement road. This is not considered using power for personal gain.
Instead, it is for the benefit of the people.
Not to mention taking refuge in King Jin. If anyone looks for trouble, the young husband will be able to send him back in the future.
King Jin was stunned, obviously surprised that Shi Qingluo would make such a condition.
"Don't you mention anything for yourself?"
Shi Qingluo smiled, "I'm not short of money now, and I don't seem to need anything else in Northern Xinjiang."
"I see that Heyang County is very cold and the people are having a hard time, so I hope I can do something for them."
"Do you think it's okay, Your Majesty? Use a concrete road in exchange for the square."
When the cement road from Beicheng to Heyang County is built, businessmen will be attracted to buy things for the workshop. After making money, they can continue to build roads to other places.
That is to say, first use one road to support a county. She and her young husband both have a relatively big goal.
We hope to develop Heyang County into a large commodity distribution and trading center in northern Xinjiang.
However, due to various poor conditions, it is not easy to implement and it will take time.
King Jin originally wanted to use the recipe that Shi Qingluo gave to his concubine as a way to make money, so he dragged her into the water and pulled her onto his boat.
I didn't expect that this girl is really a loach, so slippery all the time.
Only she could think of replacing a concrete road with a prescription.
This way, there is nothing for people in the capital to arrest.
He couldn't say he was unhappy, but he couldn't be happy either.
But then I thought about it, at least Shi Qingluo was willing to give advice to Prince Jin's Mansion, which meant there was room for win over.
If he comes to Beicheng, the handle will be given to him, or the people in the capital will catch him.
He probably won't value Shi Qingluo and his wife that much anymore.
The more this happened, the more King Jin became determined to pull the two of them onto his ship.
He thought about it several times and said with a smile: "It's just a road construction, but you still seem to be at a disadvantage."
"How about I give you another fifty thousand taels of silver as compensation?"
Shi Qingluo thought, haha, if she took the compensation money, wouldn't she be like her scumbag father?
She smiled and shook her head, "We as a couple are not short of money now, so there is no need for compensation."
"My husband wants to open a school in Heyang County, so he should use this recipe to make paper for the students in the school."
"This recipe was given to the prince, but I hope we can use it ourselves."
"Your Majesty, let's use this to compensate."
"Of course, except for my own use, I will never give the recipe to anyone else."
She added, "We will not open a paper-making workshop to compete with the concubine for business."
In this way, they have taken a clear path in making paper.
She really didn't want to compete with King Jin for business, otherwise she would have to help him share the hatred from those big families.
But paper is not just for writing. They make paper for other uses, such as toilet paper, and the profits must be very good.
King Jin discovered that Shi Qingluo was really difficult to deal with and did not fall into his trap at all.
The key point is that the request she made didn't sound too excessive.
If she refused, she might feel uncomfortable and would be in trouble if she didn't offer prescriptions or ideas in the future.
So King Jin could only hold his nose and say, "What's this? It's no problem."
Then the conversation changed: "But we have to sign a contract."
He was afraid that Shi Qing would give it to him, and not long after giving him the prescription, he would give it to someone else or the capital, so why bother with it?
Shi Qingluo chuckled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Of course there is no problem in signing the contract."
Chapter completed!
